jon got a bike. jon got a bike. jon got a bike hey, hey, hey, hey!

 before he got a bike, however, we were sharing my bike. 

on our anniversary on friday, jon sat on my bike seat and i pedaled us to a park we've never been to near our house. 

(they put the park in last year, and obviously haven't done any maintenance since)

we had to stop and switch because jon was laughing uncontrollably on the back of my bike! he thought it was so funny that i was trying so hard. we used to do this last year when he started school, and we both remember it being SO difficult. we can't figure out if its easier now that we don't have the weight of two backpacks, or because we started working out again for the first time in months. haha. 

while i was at work on friday, jon went and picked this bike up from someone he found on craig's list! apparently, he got a steal of a deal....

 on saturday, we decided to try it out! i'm seriously obsessed with my bike rack jon got me. i use it every single day for school, and now jon and i have the city of san diego in the palms of our hands! we drove my car down to hillcrest/university/normal heights and parked it wherever we wanted. there was no good or bad parking since we didn't have to walk to our destination. then we drove our bikes all around. jon loves his new 'set of wheels'. 

we had to stop at a bike shop for some tune up-age, and we stumbled upon an open house. there is literally nothing in this world that i love more than i love a good open house. so we stopped to take a peek. 

 a 95 year old women lived here before the realtor bought the house. (...)

she lived  there for SIXTY years. the house was thought to have been built in 1923, but when they were remodeling, they found a receipt in the wall for 1913. 100 years old! 

all the windows in the house were original and i believe the floor was updated, but mostly original. 

 I NEED IT.

 its only flaw was the fact that it was on a really busy street. and maybe across the street from a very, VERY sketchy park. other than that, it was perfect!!! i'm still thinking about what i would do with the master bedroom and the tiny attached nursery.
in a few years, of course... 

we took a different way back to the car. look at this hill! jon rode his bike up the entire thing. i got off my bike and ran up the hill. it probably took me five minutes. it was so steep!

altogether, it was a fun day. i'm tickled that jon got a bike! not only because we can do fun day trips like this, but also because he said he's going to ride it every day instead of his car so that we can save gas money...

ohh the possibilities...
